This collection of 46 poems, translated from French, has been selected for both poetic and psychological interest. In the valley breeze where the moonlight glows Come all ye blonde belles and brown-haired beaus, Where the fiddle plays and the woodwind blows, Dance the villanelle! - Villanelle Violin A mighty Ship there was, of solid gold 'twas spun, Its masts touched the sky, it sailed on seas unknown, While naked Aphrodite, tresses wildly blown, Reclined along the prow before the blazing sun.- The Ship of Gold
